Vacant job

How do you make a difference for hundreds of thousands of train travelers every day? Do you enjoy solving problems in complex systems? Do you often think outside the box and see new opportunities where others see obstacles? Would you also like to contribute to making life easier and safer for citizens across Sweden? We are looking for a senior software developer who wants to work with technical innovation and sustainable software development.

System-Thinking Senior Software Developer

Responsibilities

We are looking for someone with sharp system thinking and an understanding of the difference between complicated and complex. You are curious about both technology and the people who use it - and driven to create solutions that make a real difference. In this role, you will be a key player in our team and a central part of our delivery. You enjoy varied tasks, see the value in technical innovation and quality, and appreciate dialogue with users to ensure we build the right solutions. As a senior software developer with us, you will play an important role in driving technical innovation, sustainable system development, and product development. Your main task will be to further develop parts of our advertising systems, so that train travelers receive relevant and reliable traffic information - both today and in the future. You will have shared responsibility for software architecture, system quality, and accessibility in systems that affect hundreds of thousands of travelers every day.

We work with automated testing and system verification, in the form of unit tests and Gherkin, to ensure that our advertising platform can be updated without anxiety, manual interventions, and with high availability. We do not expect you to know everything from the start or bear all the responsibility yourself - but we are looking for someone who wants to help lead the team's development and contribute with your skills and experience. You will be part of a team of about 10 people within Traffic Information at Järnväg-IT. We primarily work with .net (C#). We use the ELK stack for observability and monitoring and Azure DevOps (on-prem) to manage our releases.

Qualifications

We place great importance on personal qualities and collaboration skills.

With us, you will work in a helpful and unpretentious team, where knowledge sharing is a given and where we believe in developing together.
